Every A-Lister Spotted at the Actors’ Strike
Major Hollywood stars are lending their support to the ongoing actors’ strike as it enters its 6th day. A-list actors spotted picketing on the streets of Hollywood include Kevin Bacon (Footloose), Rachel McAdams (Mean Girls), Susan Sarandon (Thelma & Louise), and Jason Sudeikis (Ted Lasso).
They went on camera to voice concerns about the imbalance of power and unreasonable working conditions in Hollywood. Clips can be found on Twitter under the hashtag #ActorsStrike.
Recently, a member of SAG-AFTRA released the full list of negotiation proposals, with many of them rejected or countered by the AMPTP. It suggests an agreement between the two parties is a long way off yet. Until then, check out what some of the most famous actors guild members had to say on the matter.
